The fact that David de Gea has been Manchester United's 'Player of the Season' in four of the past five seasons tells the story of his worth to the club. He is arguably the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.

He has been nominated in the PFA Team of the Year for the past four seasons, further enhancing his reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He also won his first ever Premier League Golden Glove 2017/18 trophy for keeping the highest number of clean sheets during the season.

The Spanish goalkeeper may have had a poor World Cup by his standards but the 27-year-old is back at Old Trafford and will likely be the hero once again for Jose Mourinho’s team.

Without him last season, they might not have even qualified for the Champions League. With his future now seemingly secured at United, he can fully focus on winning his second Premier League medal and become a Manchester United legend in the eyes of the fans.
